World Bee Day 2023, May 20th.

FORUM: “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production.”. World Bee Day 2023. Bees and other pollinators are fundamental for the health of ecosystems and food security. They help maintain biodiversity and ensure the production of nutritious food. However, intensive monoculture production and improper use of pesticides pose serious threats to pollinators by reducing their access to food and nesting sites, exposing them to harmful chemicals, and weakening their immune systems. Under this year theme, we call for global action to support pollinator-friendly agricultural production and to highlight the importance of protecting bees and other pollinators, particularly through evidence-based agricultural production practices. Follow the conversations with the hashtags: #worldbeeday, #20May, #SavetheBees.
